Hello Quiet Carpenter,
I want to thank you.
While reflecting on your work, I wrote you a poem. It’s from the future – 2036 – and it’s about the way you helped turn the world around, not with noise or spectacle, but with steady care.
In this short reflection, I’m thinking about the people who stay. The ones who tend places, keep company, notice what needs attention, and quietly make room for others. I imagine a bookshop, a familiar rhythm, and the kind of work that doesn’t always make headlines, but makes a life and a community possible.
This is a small thank-you to anyone doing that kind of work. The kind that builds continuity, offers hope, and shapes the future one thoughtful, persistent act at a time.
